    When I try to add my office online calendar feed I am getting a status error telling and returning the first line of the feed (BEGIN:VCALENDAR).

    A snippet of my feed:

    BEGIN:VCALENDAR

    Are you sure this is what your calendar data looks like ? This snippet seems not helpful at all.

    Your VCALENDAR misses an END:VCALENDAR, your EVENT misses an UID: and DTSTAMP: … (see: RFC5545 )

    The snippet I provided was not complete.
    This is the full result I am getting into my browser (chrome) once I fill in the credentials.

    UID and DTSTAMP are like you say missing. Is it because of that that the import doesn’t succeed?

    Not necessarily. Although your calendar is formally invalid, icsdroid does import the text you have posted on my device without problems.

    So my next guess would be the server HTTP status code. Is it correctly returning 200 OK if you verify in Chrome (Developer Tools - Networking? )

    Please enclose code or similar blocks with ```.

    Can you provide steps to reproduce, including an URL/credentials where we can reproduce the problem?

    @rfc2822,

    Thanks for your tip about the code.

    I can provide you the URL and the credentials but not here. It has to be handled as confidential.
    Can I give you these in a private message?

    Thanks, regards,
    Michel.

    @MS-Informatique Yes, you can send it as private message or email to play@bitfire.at (OpenPGP key on the bottom of icsdroid.bitfire.at).

    Hello,

    Thanks for the credentials. The server doesn’t like requests sent using curl: In this case, the server responds with The requested URL was rejected. Please consult with your administrator. Your support ID is: 14255903059298974973. However, that’s not your problem.

    It seems like the server doesn’t send a correct HTTP response. There’s no status line, but only the message body:

    > GET /calendar HTTP/1.1
> Host: …
> Authorization: Basic …
> Accept: */*
> User-Agent: ICSdroid
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
…

    This causes clients to interpret the first body line as the status line, thus the error message “Unexpected status: BEGIN:VCALENDAR” (BEGIN:VCALENDAR is the first line of the body).

    So, this is a severe server error: the server doesn’t speak HTTP.

    There’s probably some kind of script at this URL and printing the HTTP status line has been forgotten in this script. Please contact your server admin with reference to this forum thread.

    @rfc2822

    Thanks for your reply. Now the problem is clear.
    I will handle this with the server admin.

    Have a nice day!

    Best regards,
    Michel.

    @MS-Informatique I hope that it helps. If the problem could be solved that way, it would be nice if you could confirm it here so that I know whether my guess was correct.
